Developer's note: DOOMscroll looks casual, but it's making a point. It takes the thing we all do without thinking — scrolling endlessly through bad news — and turns that exact habit into the controls. That's why I see it as much as a piece of art as a game: the mechanic IS the message. The mechanics are simple, but simple doesn't mean easy. Your gun fires on its own, so the real game is in your upgrade choices — pick wrong and you can quietly kill your own run. Early on it's tempting to rush ahead and dodge monsters just to cover distance. Resist it. Every kill you skip is an upgrade you don't get, and you'll feel that gap badly later. Slow down, clear the room, and stack those sweet upgrades — they're what carry you deep. My one wish: let the character move sideways. A little lateral control would hand players more agency without losing the scroll-only hook that makes the game what it is.
